Talking compare pink wheels

I finally have my Landyachtz DH race. Right now i have Sector 9 Goddess 9 ball wheels 76mm 76a on there. the ride is soo smooth but, naturally being a gurl, i want pink wheels so i was thinking about the zigzags, powerballs or pink polka dots. I want a smooth riding wheel that can at least get me over a twig <~~ bad experience ~~ that i can cruise , carve, have controlled sliding yet also have a wheel that doesn't slow me down much. any suggestions??

So.... 1.5 mm of ride height means UBER low ? ? ?

and pink bigzigs ARENT a good idea if she wants something that will slide smooth.

Also look at the 7-0s in the pink line. ZigZag shape, but the non reflex 'thane. Still pink though, and will provide more grip than a powerball, but at the same time be much smoother of a slide than anything in the reflex formula pink.

No, not the bearings are 10 mm, the spacers are 10 mm. You can use your standard bearings with the pink wheels, just buy a set of 10 mm spacers for a few cent.

You can dye wheels fairly easily (I have heard). You should try dyeing some flywheels because big flywheels were made for the DHR.

I might try this weekend cuz i'm doing some major board restoration. Ill send you the pics if i figure it out.

I think there may be a set of pink gumballs for sale in the buy/sell forum. I have a set and have found them to be very smooth. If you really want to slide, go with the powerballs. If you have your heart set on nice mellow cruising I suggest the 7-Os or those gummballs. (they dont make them anymore so finding a good set is tough) Good Luck!
